Victoria Harbourside Hotel & Marina

When Al Oakley decided to put Victoria in the Summer cruise he thought best to get some Canucks to host the event. He was concerned about the language barrier (speaking Canadian), Currency issues (is it a loonie or a toonie) and customs and immigration(we don’t really have one).

Patty and I are pleased to be your hosts as this city has lots to offer. The above link from our marina website has everything you need. We are just finalizing our meeting location for morning coffee and Happy hour and will be back to you with those details.

Your hotel has an award winning restaurant and there are many more within walking distance. For those of you who have never visited Victoria I would strongly recommend the BC Royal Museum as a must. Admission is $9.00  CDN for seniors, not bad EH. For those that have been to Victoria before I would recommend the Craigdarroch castle and maybe lunch at the Oakbay Marina. I will give you the dates we will do these adventures later this week. Hope you are all enjoying your July 1 and July 4 celebrations.
Warm Regards

Visiting boaters discover that Squalicum Harbor is a great destination with nearby restaurants, shops, marine supplies, and even a hotel. The harbor is surrounded by parks and waterfront trails, as well as the Squalicum Boathouse - an excellent meeting facility for visiting boating groups. During the summer, the Harbor Staff operates a van to take visitors to nearby shopping centers.
 
Normally Squalicum Harbor does not accept reservations. All visitor moorage is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Please contact the Squalicum Harbor Office on VHF channel 16 or by phone at 360-676-2542 as you approach the harbor and staff will direct you to available transient moorage. Due to their popularity, there is a 3-day limit on visitor moorage.
